Summer Scouting: Strikers. (Image: Canva) Last but not least on 'Summer Scouting'; we look at Blackburn Rovers' options up front. Yuki Ohashi Blackburn Rovers' Japanese forward has been a great addition for just a few hundred grand. The 28-year-old finished his debut season in England as Rovers' top goal-scorer. Yuki Ohashi is an intelligent player that can play as a number nine or as a ten, though I think he's better as the former.

Valerien Ismael wants 90% of his squad through the door for the start of pre-season. That remains three weeks away but Rovers have yet to make a breakthrough in the transfer market. Whilst that target was always wishful thinking, the remaining '10%' left out by Ismael was always likely to be loan players. Often, Premier League clubs don't sanction deals for their brightest talents until August as they finalise their squads for the new season.

Summer Scouting: Wingers. (Image: Canva) Next up on 'Summer Scouting'; we take a look at Blackburn Rovers' options on the wings. Rovers have triggered the option in Ryan Hedges' contract to ensure he stays at Ewood Park next season. Valerien Ismael was adamant that he wanted to keep the Welshman at the club. The last two seasons have been frustrating for Hedges. Last term was injury hit and this campaign, he didn't produce his best in the final third.

Remarkably, the Blackburn Rovers head coach has already outlasted a third of the division despite being unveiled on February 25. Only one second-tier club made an appointment later in the season, with Alan Sheehan getting the Swansea City job full-time last month. However, even he was in situ, in temporary charge, before Ismael, beating Rovers 3-0 in his first game as caretaker. Ismael's rise up the list comes after a summer of mass churn in the Championship managerial market.

Blackburn Rovers are waiting to discover whether the 23-year-old will extend his stay at Ewood Park. A new deal has been offered but Dolan has openly said he wants to play at the highest level possible. The forward will be patient this summer and assess his options, as a result. If there is no Premier League move on offer, it'll be interesting to see where he might land in the Championship food chain, if he does leave Rovers.

#Rovers' summer of overseas transfer targets shouldn't be a shock. They have been doing it for several years. Long read with @andywatsonsport on the value of ESC slots, how they work and how that can help #Rovers bridge the financial gap. https://t.co/sDLMyK3y56 https://t.co/3BJc1LtXd7
#Rovers confirm Watson Ramsbottom have signed a new two-year deal as front-of-shirt sponsor. Nice to see a local business on the 150th-year kit, which will be revealed on Monday. https://t.co/1pSr0pSAKG https://t.co/n4yoJzLvLj
Had a lot of questions on ESC slots this past week. Big piece going up over the weekend and a pod alongside @andywatsonsport, the best in the business on this. #Rovers
